German doc film looks for caring man to film with his doll

Hi guys!
My name is Maria Shilik, I am a Hamburg and Berlin based film producer. I'm working on a feature length documentary film for German public television on human-robot interaction.
Would one of the TDF_Staff be so kind to confirm this? Thanks very much!
We already had the chance to shoot at the „realdoll“ headquaters and did a great interview with their design director. Now, we are looking for a man who is curious about a robotic doll and would like to try out living with a talking doll for some days and let us film bits of this togetherness.
We are not interested in filming sex scenes, but rather everyday moments of being together, of sharing life with someone you care about, someone almost, but not fully human. (Most people don't have their own realbotix head, but once it's out there we will help the one who will let us film get it in order to try this out with us.)
Why are we doing this? We believe that in a couple of decades, robot companions will have become completely normal for us. With this film we are trying to portray bits of the future in today's world. In the film, there will be other human-robot relationships as well: a Tokyo family living with a robot as if it was their fourth child, an Italian scientist couple living with their robot butler, a robot teacher and several more.
If you could imagine to become part of this exciting endeavour, please contact us at ms.videojournalismus@gmail.com
We are more than happy to give you all the information. Don't be shy, ask any question you would like and share your knowledge about what it is like to live with a doll with us.
Looking forward to your replies,
best from Germany,
Maria
